SUMMARY:
Section 4.02(a) (6) of the City Charter states in part, “The City Council shall establish an Office of the City Council and shall have as its staff the following who shall be responsible to the City Council through the President of the Council. The City Council is authorized to employ a Budget Analyst or an individual with similar qualifications, pursuant to the City’s position classification code, to assist the budgetary matters of the City Council. The City Council, by ordinance, shall define the qualifications, pay and responsibilities of said employee in accordance with the City’s position classification code.”
On March 17, 2016 Proposed Ordinance No. 05-16 pertaining to the position of Budget Analyst was presented to City Council which was approved on first reading. On April 14, 2016 the Proposed Ordinance was adopted becoming Ordinance No. 10-16.
The Ordinance created section 2-4-52 (Budget Analyst) of the Code of the City of Pensacola. Under Section 2-4-52(d) - Classification and Salary states, “The City’s position classification code classifies the position of Budget Analyst as GE-09. This classification carries a salary range of $26,270 - $43, 868 as set forth in the City’s Pay Scale Summary.”
The proposed amendment to 2-4-52(d) would change the classification from GE-09 to C-03 with a salary range of $40,456.00 - $82,742.40 which puts the position more in line with the requirements being sought by the City Council.
